(newbie alert)

I found two (DOM) tutorial-type programs to retrieve values and I am trying to decide which one I will build upon.

(For this explanation, I will use the filesystem analogy.)

One of them is simpler, being based on XPath:

cat /some/dir/inside/another/item.txt

The other program goes like this:

cd some
cd dir
cd inside
cd another
cat item.txt

(the above are actually nested loops)

I now realize that the two approaches are even more useful, if combined into a hybrid approach:

cd /some/dir/inside/another
dir
cat item.txt
cat other.txt

Is there such express way to jump directly to the desired depth where your target item resides?

TIA,
